I always have to buy tomatoes to can, but this year at $60, I'm just canning a few yellow ones. Luckily, I haven't touched any of last year's jars.That's it, I'm moving to your neighborhood! Lol
Missed 2 days in the garden due to weather and I have 26 okra that are too large to eat. What a waste
I couldnt leave that many on the plant long enough to go to seed because it signals the plant to stop producing.Seeds
Grasshoppers are bad here too. No where near as bad as yours. They seem to love marigolds. They strip them down to the stemI've never seen so many grasshoppers before. Just walking through the garden thousands of grasshoppers are all over everything. On a couple of our apple trees they've eaten every single leaf on the tree. They're now starting to eat the bark. The leaves on our raspberry bushes look like skeletons. They've pretty much eaten our garden too.
They don't seem the like the blackberry plants or the grape, cherry, plum or peach trees yet. I found several tent caterpillar nests on our cherry trees. I sprayed them this morning. Gophers are pretty bad this year too. It hardly seems worth it at times. At least the Mormon crickets haven't made it up here yet. They make the grasshoppers look like amateurs.
This has been a hard year for gardening. First we had snow and ice on June 22nd, then the birds wiped out the entire cherry crop, chipmunks ate all the strawberries, then the grasshoppers are just about everything else. We're going to make up a mixture of garlic oil and spray whatever is left.
